Ring tests 01/04 - 07/06

As part of ensuring a constant quality control and -improvement, Primoris takes part in many national and international ring tests. These are independent checks on the quality of laboratory analysis. Based on the results of these ring tests, the performance of the analytical method is evaluated and, if necessary, improved. Some of these ring tests are undercover tests in order to meet the highest possible quality standards.

From April till June of this year, Primoris took part in following ring tests:

• EUPT-SRM11: pesticides on spinach
• QS: pesticides on apple
• FAPAS 04292: aflatoxin m1 on milk powder

Especially for fresh products, Primoris is approved by the German quality system QS “Qualitát und Sicherheit”. In context of this approval, QS organizes two times per year a ring test on fresh products to ensure that Primoris meets the quality requirements.

The results of these ring tests are available to our customers and can always be requested.
